A couple of weeks ago I went vintage shopping with Laura and we both got lucky and found this season's must have: high rise jeans from the 80's. I immediately called a friend to tell her that I had found my uniform for this summer's music festivals and I urged her to go find a pair for herself, you know, we simply must both be uniformed hipsters at Primavera Sound ... ;p
I got home and I tried the jeans on, I took out a pair of scissors and two clean cuts later, I was the proud owner of a pair of 80's vintage cut-offs! Oh! Indescribable happiness! Until I looked in the mirror ... hmmm ... the waist looks really weird !
And then it dawned on me...

After interiorizing this terribly shocking piece of news I had two options, either I threw away the shorts and pretended none of this had happened, or I looked for a way to conceal my lack of curves and small scoliosis problem. So I drew up a plan in 4 simple steps:

1, More visual proof of the reason why high waists and no waists don't look good together. Do we need more visual proof? Why am I even writing about this? Hmm actually, that's a very good question...2. First thing's first, a pair of tights, just to hide whatever unwanted attributes a pair of very short shorts might reveal. (Yay for winter!) And a pair of high heels always makes me feel I look better :)

3. I have to do something about the top part of my body, so I wear a loose top that creates the illusion that I do have a "normal" waist. At least that's what I think...4. An unbuttoned cardi for the final concealing touches.

So, what do you think? Did I defeat the shorts? Or was it the other way round? :)
